Hm, do you mean that we have to distribute a list of bugzilla 
categories/keywords/... and their meanings with releases? I don't see any 
value in this, since you can only do something with this information if you 
are online. The only exception is the gccbug script, but I will certainly 
refuse to go through hoops generating this information just for the sake of 
gccbug.

Can you please clarify this?

That should have read {bugs,faq}.html.

If you see any value in keeping these files in releases, that's fine with me. 
Let's keep in then.

Thanks
